Coupon for Part 1-5 compilation

I will send a coupon code for $.51 off to anyone who signs up to follow my blog. That makes the compilation only 99 cents, and cheaper than each of the parts separately. Then, if you want, and only if you request, I will send you notice when a new part of the series is published.

Thanks

P.S. I'm thinking of giving coupons for the next part free for people who write reviews of the stories....and making them stack so that anyone who wanted to do me the favor of reviewing each part wouldn't have to pay for any of them. What do you think?

Portal to Adventure, Parts 1-5 Compilation

I posted this for anyone not caught up, and in anticipation of the "read and e-book week" event. Dilligently at work on part 6+, and it should be up in a few days.

Portal to Adventure, Part Five

Part Five is posted! I know it was too long, but it is also a bit longer than parts two, three, and four.

Enjoy

Readership

Now that over 800 people have downloaded the first part of the John Smith story, and more than 200 of them are continuing on to other parts as of this writing, I suppose some kind of milestone has been reached. Well for me it has anyway. Two hundred (not to mention eight hundred) is far more people than have been reached by word of mouth, at least not by either my wife or I, and probably not my friends who have read the story either.

I am excited!

Of course this also means I have to get going on part V which is already late.

I kind of wish some of the people reading the story would join here so they could give me more direct feedback on how they like/dislike parts of it. Maybe I will put a suggestion at the end of part five.

Portal to Adventure, Part Four

Finally! After a lengthy delay I will continue to blame on the holidays, part four is published. My goal is to have the remaining parts of Portal to Adventure, and the following Portal to.. books up every week to ten days.

When I have wrapped up Portal to Adventure, I am going to consolidate the parts into one novel form, and look into publishing it through Amazon as well as Smashwords so that hard copies will at least be available, and maybe Kindle users will take a look.

Wish me luck.

Plumbing and other woes

OK, Part IV will be up soon, I promise, and worth the wait. We are days away from closing on our other house and will finallybe rid of that financial drain. Unfortunatly, the repair remaining is a plumbing one, replete with brass fittings and CPVC. Did I mention, I hate plumbing! I'd much rather be writing.

Anyway, I have been working on the next part of the story, and it's over halfway done.
